Offering stunning sunset views and starry night skies from a private deck, this home is a rare find- located on a quiet country road yet only minutes from everyday amenities. Tucked onto 2.5 acres, this thoughtfully designed multi-level home is the kind of place that seems to anticipate your needs. You are greeted with a mudroom/landing pad with custom maple and Douglas fir woodworking, built-in storage, and direct garage entry. There's plenty of room to drop everything and leave the rest of the world at the door. Step down into the heart of the home, where the kitchen, dining, and living space with a wood stove flow together in an easy open-concept arrangement. A full wall of windows brings in natural light and frames the western views, and direct deck access makes outside dining a breeze. Up another level, the primary en-suite occupies its own split level, offering just enough separation from the other bedrooms for privacy. Hardwood floors, good closet space, and windows on three sides make it a dreamy retreat. The two additional bedrooms share a full bath and a bonus office/TV/gamer space. In all, there are 3 bedrooms and 2½ baths, with a floor plan that works equally well for quiet evenings or gathering with friends and family. The home has been tended and loved, with custom touches throughout. Outside, there's plenty of open acreage for winding paths, gardens, dogs, or finding your favorite spot to sit and do absolutely nothing. Across the small brook there's a 1-acre pasture perfect for homesteading endeavors. And then there's Westford, a hidden gem in Chitt Co.; with weekly summer concert series & a farmers market on the village green, miles of biking and recreation on beautiful country roads, groomed ski and hiking trails, you're far enough out to feel like old Vermont, yet close enough to amenities; 10 min from the Essex Experience, movie theaters, restaurants, shops and grocery stores, 25 to Burlington, 30 to Smuggs and the mountains. Open house 9/6 10-12.
